Explanation:
a) This system often involves clearing of a piece of land followed by several years of wood harvesting or farming until the soil loses fertility.
Once the land becomes inadequate for crop production, it is left to be reclaimed by natural vegetation, or sometimes converted to a different long term cyclical farming practice.
This system of agriculture is often practised at the level of an individual or family, but sometimes may involve an entire village.
An estimated population exceeding 250 million people derive subsistence from the practice of shifting cultivation, and ecological consequences are often deleterious.
b) Nomadic pastoralism is a form of pastoralism when livestock are herded in order to find fresh pastures on which to graze. Strictly speaking, true nomads follow an irregular pattern of movement, in contrast with transhumance where seasonal pastures are fixed.[1] However this distinction is often not observed and the term nomad used for both—in historical cases the regularity of movements is often unknown in any case. The herded livestock include cattle, yaks, llamas, sheep, goats, reindeer, horses, donkeys or camels, or mixtures of species. Nomadic pastoralism is commonly practised in regions with little arable land, typically in the developing world, especially in the steppe lands north of the agricultural zone of Eurasia.[2] Of the estimated 30–40 million nomadic pastoralists worldwide,
d) Many of the earliest British plantation owners were from Bristol and the West Country. The Bristol merchant Colonel George Standfast, for example, established a plantation producing sugar in Barbados in the Caribbean by the 1650s. His son employed 238 enslaved Africans by 1679. Sir John Yeamans, who once lived at Redland Court in Bristol, was one of the early settlers to prosper on the Caribbean island of Barbados. He owned a sugar plantation in Barbados and established a colony in South Carolina, America, where slaves were used. Yeamans’ brother Robert (pictured here) was the Sheriff, Mayor and Chief Magistrate of Bristol, as well as a merchant who had an early involvement in the Caribbean trade. John Dukinfield, from Bristol was a slave trader and member of the Society of Merchant Venturers, an elite body of Bristol merchants involved in overseas trade. His son, Robert, was left a large slave plantation by his father, in Jamaica in the 1750s.
